I have several trunking scanners from both Radio Shack and Uniden including a BC895XLT, new BCD396T, PRO-2067?, etc. My county simulcasts Fire Department dispatches from VHF Frequency 155.8350 on each respective FD's talkgroup on the 800 MHz trunked system. None of my scanners will pick up the transmission of this simulcast. All other radio traffic works and is recieved without problems. The tone-outs however I cannot hear on the trunked system (I can hear them on the VHF). I can't figure out what would cause this? My BCD396T is using Control Channel only scanning but the other two scanners have all frequencies programmed and are not using CC scanning. So, I can't see it being a CC scan issue?
I have a Motorola radio for my fire department which also will not pick up the tone out while scanning the talkgroups. However if you monitor only one talkgroup it will pick up the tone out. Anyone have any clue what causes the scanner to not pick up the tone-out and dispatch transmission?
